Around 1985 I purchased at that time the state of the art Satellite system which included a 12 foot paraclipse satellite dish. Being an antique now, it was not in use and I had made plans to have it removed. Coincidentally, due to the last hurricane it was blown down with very little damage. I tried to give it away several times with no takers. after watching this in the yard for several weeks i came up with the idea of flipping it upside down and using it as a roof for a tiki hut.

This began the process of how to do this.. I had mentioned this to Louie, a friend of mine, and he showed up the very next day with a trailer load "prong fronds". Steve Holmstrom, my maintenance and security person, and I started the long journey of making this idea into reality.

After a week of putting the pieces of the puzzle together and not knowing what we were doing, to our amazement, it happened.

We started throwing around possible names for this area.. we came up with: "wehta hekcowee"

As the story goes- some natives were lost in the rain forest, one of them climbed a palm tree and yelled "where the heck are we"... we thought this was a perfect name for this theme as truly being in our backyard you have no idea you're in the small town of Pinellas Park Florida.

Picture yourself in native attire drinking your favorite tropical drink, out of a coconut, listening to the surrounding jungle sounds....
